Chapter 53 Blood Stain
“Zayden…” Naomi stared at Zayden in shock.
Zayden said coldly. This isn’t the end of the matter. Once Nolan is back, I’ll settle with it.” Then, Zayden turned and left.
Henry’s voice rang out from behind him. “Don’t forget, you’re already broken off your engagement with Eliza! What right do you have to confront Nolan! Who do you think you are?”
Zayden stood frozen in place as he clenched his fist.
“Zayden, he’s right,” Naomi said gently, eyes filled with nervousness. “You and Eliza are no longer engaged. You shouldn’t get involved in her personal matters anymore. And if she really does like Nolan, shouldn’t we be offering our blessings instead?”
She watched him closely but anxiously. She had waited so long for Zayden and Eliza to call off their engagement, so there. was no way she’d let Zayden start having other ideas now. If he regretted it, she’d become the joke of their entire circle.
“She’s only a second–year student in high school. What she should be focusing on is her studies, not dating someone like
Nolan!TM
Who didn’t know about Nolan’s character? A person who was a juvenile and a murderer–how good could he be?
Zayden tore his uniform to vent his anger.
“Zayden!” Naomi followed behind him with a pale face.
“Don’t follow me! The people on the field didn’t know what was happening.
Henry frowned. “Is Nolan really dating Eliza?”
“No idea. Colton suddenly recalled Nolan looking for him because of Eliza. He hesitated and said, “But.. it’s possible.”
At the same time, in Season Hotel.
“Achool Eliza sneezed.
Nolan asked, “Are you sick?”
Eliza had been doing her homework last night, and she fell asleep on the sofa in the middle of the night.
Eliza shook her hand, “No, I just felt a chill…”
Like someone was talking behind her back.
The hotel room was silent. Nolan stared at Eliza for a while and asked, “Why are you not done with your homework yet?
I’m doing Saturday’s homework. What about yours?”
Nolan was speechless. Then, he said, I never do my homework.”
“You even went all the way to the classroom to get her homework last time, didn’t you?”
Nolan shifted his gaze slightly. “Exception”
“Oh” Eliza lowered her head and continued working on her homework when suddenly, a knock came from the door. A polite female voice called from outside, “Hello, room service?”
“No, thanks”
“We have prepared breakfast and a fruit platter for you. Will you be dining in the room or heading out?”
Eliza glanced at Nolan, who was still lying on the bed and unable to move. She stood up and went to open the door.
The hotel staff pushed in a breakfast trolley, neatly arranged with delicate breakfast items, two cups of coffee, and a fruit platter. As the attendant’s gaze swept the room, she caught a glimpse of a red stain on the bed sheets. Smiling slightly, she said, “Shall I arrange for housekeeping to tidy up the room for you later?”

“It’s fine. Not necessary for now.”
The bedsheets are you sure you don’t want them changed?”
Brdheets? Hearing the attendant’s words. Eliza glanced over at Nolan on the bed. The white sheets had a faint smear of blood. She realized the attendant had gotten the wrong idea.
On the bed. Nolan let out an awkward cough.
“Go ahead and change them.” Eliza said at last. When it came to things like that, Eliza was calmer than Nolan. After all, she had an extra life–she had seen many things. She wasn’t as shy as a high–schooler.
“Alright. I’ll arrange
Not long after the attendant left, housekeeping arrived to clean the room.
Eliza did her homework while Nolan rested on the nearby sofa. The two of them sat in silence.
Every time Eliza looked up, she could see the tips of Nolan’s ears becoming red. Who would’ve thought? In her past life. Nolan was known for being ruthless and decisive–but as a teenager, he blushed so easily.
“We’re done. If you need anything else, just give us a call, the housekeeper said politely as she finished, placing something quietly into the cabinet before leaving.

Eliza asked curiously. “What’s wrong?”
Nolan didn’t respond. He simply yanked the drawer open. The moment he saw what was inside, he froze. Then, just as quickly, his tense posture eased
“What’s in the drawer!” Eliza stood up, intending to take a look, but before she could get close, Nolan shut the drawer firmly. “Nothing
